BREAKING: Millers refuse to comment on Halford tweets

The versatile 30-year-old wrote 'Politics absolute shambles' at around 6.40pm before posting 'I can't wait till everything comes out' just over 20 minutes later.

Prior to the 2-1 defeat, rumours were rife in the stands about the meaning of the tweets - but the posts from Halford were soon deleted.

Caretaker manager Eric Black said following the game when asked about Halford's tweets: "I haven't seen it (Halford's tweets) but I have an idea.

"It's modern day football, people have their own opinions on things but I'm not losing any sleep over it, I was focussing on the players that were there and we will address that (Halford's tweets) on Monday morning."

The Advertiser has today contacted Rotherham United to ask for a statement on the matter, but the club refused to comment.
